📣 Registration is still open for the RSC-BMCS Hot Topics: Antibody-Drug Conjugates meeting

📅 Thursday 20th November 2025
📍 Virtual, Zoom

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), alongside other targeted modalities, effectively enrich target tissues with potent payloads unsuitable for systemic administration. With several recent clinical successes, the number of new ADCs approaching the clinic is rapidly increasing. This meeting aims to highlight the technological advancements and innovations driving these ADCs, while addressing the challenges and opportunities within the field. The Hot Topics session will feature speakers from industry and academia who are at the forefront of ADC design.

Confirmed Speakers 📣
Mark Petersen, Zymeworks
Elena de Orbe Izquierdo, AstraZeneca
Tom Pillow, Genentech
David Spring, University of Cambridge

Abstract Submission is now live for The BMCS Mastering MedChem X: 10th RSC-BMCS Symposium on Mastering Medicinal Chemistry!

❗The deadline for oral and poster abstract submission is Midnight GMT, Monday 15th December 2025.
📅 Meeting date - Friday 13th March, 2026
📍 Burlington House, London

Mastering Medicinal Chemistry X is the latest in an ongoing series of conferences intended to provide expert advice and guidance to new practitioners in the field of drug discovery. It has been said that “there are two types of drug discovery programmes: those that hit serious problems and those that are going to hit serious problems”. Anticipating and preparing for such problems thus accelerates the delivery of new medicines: this event will feature presentations from experienced ‘drug-hunters’ in both industry and academia, who will talk about the challenges faced in modern drug discovery, and will share best practice common to all successful medicinal chemists.

All oral and poster abstract submissions should be submitted through the abstract submission link 👉 hg3.co.uk/mmcx/
